"Come in." Naruto frowned at the two knocks on his bedroom door. His father was supposed to be at work and he thought he was alone at home.

Sasuke entered his room, setting his backpack down on the wooden floor and slipping off his shoes. "Hey." He muttered, climbing onto the bed and straddling his bewildered boyfriend before embracing him around the neck.

Though puzzled, Naruto reciprocated the hug. "What are you doing here? I thought your last class ended a couple of hours from now."

"Is that how you greet me now, idiot?" Sasuke's voice came slightly muffled from being buried in the tawny skin. "I didn't have my last class."

The blond trailed his hand slowly up and down Sasuke's spine. "You could've called. I would've come to pick you up earlier."

"I took the bus, it's fine." Sasuke pulled back slightly to give Naruto a peck on the lips. "How was your day?"

"Better now." Naruto replied, a smile playing at the corners of his lips.

The raven's lips curled into a slight half-smile. "Yeah?"

"Definitely! You must be an electrician because you always light up my day." He teased, his pride evident in his playful smirk.

"You're an idiot." Sasuke retorted, though affection colored his tone.

"Yet you still love me." The Uzumaki shot back with a grin.

Sasuke rolled his eyes with a hint of amusement. "Still wondering why."

Naruto stuck out his bottom lip in a childish pout. "Don't be mean." He protested, planting a tender kiss on Sasuke's cheek and delicately trailing his hands along his sides. "And how was your day?"

"It was good, I guess. It's just...when we were leaving, this old guy tried to grope me." Sasuke recounted, noting the flicker of red in his boyfriend's baby blue eyes. "But Gaara kicked him in the balls before he could. I didn't even notice him." He added with a small chuckle.

"That fucking bastard. I would've broken all of his fucking teeth." Naruto's jaw clenched at the thought. "In fact, I will. Just tell me what he looks like."

"I don't want you getting into fights, mister. Plus, I'm fine now. It's okay." Sasuke replied, bending to kiss Naruto and feeling him relax almost instantly under his grasp.

As they broke away for air, Sasuke found himself ensnared in Naruto's cerulean gaze. The blond seemed completely captivated by him as well, unable to look away. Despite Sasuke's eyes being as black as shadows, they seemed to hold little stars within them — little stars that shone only for him.

Sasuke was equally hypnotized by his boyfriend. He cherished these moments when words were unnecessary, when their love was enough to fill the silence between them.

When Naruto reached to brush a strand of hair from his eye, Sasuke felt very self-conscious. "Don't look at me like that."

"Like what?"

Like I'm your whole world. "Like you've seen me naked." He announced the second-best thing that came to mind.

"I did have that pleasure. You're so beautiful baby, I could stare at you all day." He sighed in fondness.

Sasuke shook his head. "Nah, I'm average looking. You on the other hand are very handsome. I love your eyes." He truly did. Naruto's eyes were certainly the most extraordinary thing he had ever seen.
